I know Kathryn is planning a Blair symposium tomorrow, but the lack of interest in the US has been noticed. One leading, genuinely conservative, Conservative has remarked to me:
[The] leading American rightwing blog doesn’t even notice the British PM resigned – confirms all my worst suspicions about this country’s irrelevance to them, and they wonder why anti-Americanism is on the rise.
To be fair, Kathryn did notice early this morning and there was a similarly brief comment at the American Spectator blog. But is the lack of comment at, say, Powerline or the Weekly Standard blog, or Instapundit or, well, anywhere except Michelle Malkin, indicative of a general disdain for the alliance and its current British champion? Or was everyone Britted Out by the Queen’s visit?
No-one cares in Brussels, though. Stephen Pollard comments:
So what, seemed to be the general view. He’s been impotent for years anyway. It’s always interesting to get a foreign impression of domestic events. Usually I like having a slightly different take. But today I just want to be at home, submerged in the wall-to-wall coverage.
Me, I’m not cracking open the champagne till the day he actually does go. That’s when the wall-to-wall coverage will probably drive Stephen away again…
